Hosted by Zach Selwyn – whose diverse credits include leading roles on acclaimed series such as Around the Horn (ESPN), Attack Of The Show, and America’s Secret Slang, among others – Parking Lot Payday puts a fun and unique spin on the traditional game show experience, as Selwyn and his crew ride into concert parking lots to give attendees the chance to cash-in on their knowledge of their favorite bands. The inaugural season features four 30-minute episodes, putting the spotlight on concertgoers on their way to see heavy metal masterminds Metallica (July 12), rock trailblazers The Rolling Stones (July 19), chart-topping favorites Imagine Dragons (July 26), and rock mainstays Coldplay (August 1).
Select fans will have the opportunity to answer up to 10 multiple-choice questions specifically pertaining to the band performing that night. The first question is worth five dollars, and that amount doubles with each question that follows – resulting in a possible grand total of $2,560 for those lucky contestants who manage to correctly answer all 10 questions. To aid them in their quest, fans will have the option to ask for a hint, text a friend, or search for the answer on their phone for 30 seconds if they get stuck. A contestant can choose to walk away at any point with the money they have won, whether it is merely $5, $80 or the entire pot. Once a fan answers a question incorrectly, they are out of the game and lose all of their earned money.
“Parking Lot Payday is the ultimate concert pre-game, showcasing the incredibly knowledgeable fans that have become as much a part of these legendary band’s history as the chart-topping hits they’ve created,” Zach Selwyn said. “This is a really fun and interactive series that fans of all ages can enjoy. We had a great time putting it together, and we look forward to sharing it with AXS TV’s audience when Parking Lot Payday debuts on July 12.”
“Parking Lot Payday is a true celebration of the fans – their passion for their favorite bands, their impressive knowledge, and their unique personalities that in many ways are a reflection of these artists they love,” said Sarah Weidman, Head of Programming, development and Multi-Platform Content for AXS TV. “We’re giving the fans the spotlight this summer with this new series. Concert-goers are having the chance to win some cash, and viewers get to play along at home to test their knowledge. Zach had a blast with them and it’s a really fun and light-hearted show; we are confident our viewers are going to enjoy everything we have planned.”
Parking Lot Payday is produced in-house by AXS TV, with Sarah Weidman, Lauren Child, and Kim Garner serving as executive producers.
